Case Study: City of Melbourne achieves community input on its 10-year financial plan with Delib Simulator

City of Melbourne - Customer Case Study

The City of Melbourne faced the challenge of developing its first-ever 10-year financial plan and needed meaningful input from its community to inform the difficult budgetary decisions ahead. To achieve this, they turned to the vendor Delib and utilized their Simulator tool to facilitate public consultation.

Delib's solution involved using the Simulator to create a representative panel where hundreds of residents could allocate a simulated $400 million annual budget. This process generated valuable qualitative and quantitative data for the council's recommendations while educating participants on the complexities of long-term city planning. The successful engagement was highlighted by positive participant feedback, which praised the innovative approach to community consultation.
